QUOTE 

“Every time we parted, I felt as if I was breaking the surface of a pool: I gasped for air, vision blurred, my body light.” 

THINGS I ENJOYED 

• It knows what it’s trying to do and it does it incredibly well
• Very addictive
• So, so hot 🥵
• Although it’s heavily kinky and it plays with slave/master dynamics, the consent is always very clear/visible - so satisfying to see it so perfectly done
• Even thought the smut is the main part/goal of the book, we can still see some fleshing out of the relationships and even some character development (that I wasn’t even expecting given the book is set in less than one day)
• It’s exactly the size it needed to be (133 pages)

THINGS I DIDN'T ENJOY
… nothing really …

this is a book that I wouldn’t recommend to most people, but definetly
READ IF YOU ENJOY
KINKY SMUT
(do read the tw and kink list before going into this one to make sure it’s something for you)

Really well written, although I prefer the build up and romance so it's not for me.. 😭
